How 15 NASCAR drivers are spending the offseason, from the beach to the mountains

The NASCAR Cup Series it famously long, stretching from February to November. So when drivers have a less rigorous schedule throughout the short offseason — compared with bouncing around the country to a different track nearly each weekend during the 36-race season — they take advantage.

From family adventures to relaxing on the beach and even racing a little, the sport’s top drivers have been a different kind of busy since the 2018 season ended with Joey Logano being crowned the champion at Homestead-Miami Speedway. So what exactly have they been up to?

Just past the halfway point in the sport’s offseason, here’s a brief recap of how the biggest names in NASCAR have spent their break so far. And perhaps because of the brutal race schedule and when the offseason is, several drivers celebrated their anniversaries with their wives.

So, yes, Dale Earnhardt Jr. isn’t technically a driver anymore, but after retiring from racing full-time at the end of the 2017 season, he transitioned into the broadcast booth with NBC Sports, meaning he’s probably enjoying the offseason as much as anyone. And judging by the photos of him, his wife, Amy, and their baby, Isla, they’re having a lovely time away from the track.

While plenty enjoyed vacations, a few, unsurprisingly, got behind the wheel a little.
